Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

The brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière created the first publicly shown movies, the first documentaries and, with this one-shot, 50-sec. movie filmed at a Provence railway station, the first horror picture. It is said that as the Paris spectators watched the train chug toward the screen, they believed it was about to crash out of the frame and into the auditorium, and ran out screaming. True or not, the story indicates the power the medium would wield over its audience. The film can be seen on YouTube.

A question about "Men Behind the Sun": has anyone actually got to the bottom of what happened during the "cat scene"? I watched an interview between T.F. Mou and JL Carrozza, during which Mou states that the cat was covered in fake blood and not harmed. Are there any other accounts from crew or production stills to verify this?
